History VideoGame / TroubleInTerroristTown

''Trouble in Terrorist Town'' is a game mode for ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' created by Bad King Urgrain in which there are [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits a group of ragtag terrorists]] who happen to have trouble among them. That trouble, as it happens to be, is that some of their group are not as loyal as one might first think. 1 out of every 4 terrorists in the town have turned on the cause, and have united together for a single, simple mission: [[KillEmAll Let none live.]]

* AlwaysMurder: Duh.

* NiceHat: Other than the fact that they're clearly labeled [[color:blue:DETECTIVE]], Detectives can usually be identified by the stereotypical deerstalker hat they're given. If they are shot in the head, it falls off.

Gameplay is essentially a cross between the SocialDeductionGame ''TabletopGame/Werewolf1986'', ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'', and the often-forgotten crossover between ''Film/DieHard'' and ''Literature/AndThenThereWereNone''. As mentioned earlier, one out of every four terrorists is a traitor. The traitors' goal to is kill off all the remaining players before time runs out. Traitors can buy equipment such as body armor or a C4 with credits, but most importantly, they have the element of surprise. Even though the traitors are the minority of players, the innocents do not know who's a traitor and who isn't. To make up for this, they have a detective for every one in eight players, who is capable of buying equipment and must try to weed out the traitors. It's up to the innocent players to find out who's a traitor using information from corpses and suspicious players to find out who the traitors are and kill them before they're killed themselves.

Compare with ''VideoGame/Unfortunate Spacemen'', a game with a near-identical premise that is set on a space station.

There are also ''numerous'' modifications and permutations of the game, which include extra weapons, extra roles, and other mechanics. Generally if roles other than Innocent, Detective and Traitor are mentioned on this page, they are optional extra roles.

** The Jester role (a role deliberately aimed at discouraging "[=RDMing=]" by either having the Jester get the role of the person who killed them if they're not a traitor, or ending the match with a Jester victory with the old Jester variant) runs ''entirely'' on this, as while they can't damage anyone directly, they have to fool an innocent into killing them by convincing them they're a traitor. A bad Jester will give themselves away and end up being ignored for the rest of the match by innocents and have to resort to running into crossfire, while a good Jester will try to be subtle and make themselves look like a traitor without firing a shot, such as deliberately making it look like they're using the traitor item shop menu in a discreet location when an innocent turns up, or trying to "sneak off" with a traitor's body to make it look like they're attempting to revive them.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Many people assume that the bad guy(s) is called the "terrorists", a mislabelling that is perpetuated by many Let's Play videos. In actuality, ''all'' the players are terrorists and they are trying to find the "traitors" among them. The general rule is to just call everyone a "T," or an "Inno."

* ReverseMole: Some servers also occasionally assign a player the "Spy" or "Glitch" role, which functions identically to a regular Innocent but is seen by the Traitors as one of them. They still have no idea who the real Traitors are. Their job is essentially to pretend to be pretending to be innocent, so the real Traitors will lower their guard and do something incriminating in front of them. For added paranoia, the Traitors are usually alerted that someone is a Glitch.

* VillainProtagonist: The Innocents aka what you're most likely are going to be are the terrorists.

** Part of the game is predicting other players' actions - for example, moving an unidentified body into a conspicuous position so another traitor can light up the innocents that flock to the corpse. Of course, there are always the wild cards that [[SpannerInTheWorks are nearly impossible to predict]].

* {{Bowdlerise}}: As a result of ''WebSite/YouTube'''s stricter policies and enforcement against 'questionable' media, some servers have taken to renaming the game mode as Trouble in ''Traitor'' Town to make things easier on [=YouTuber=]'s who still want to make videos of the mode, with the terrorist renamed/referred to as 'traitors' instead of terrorist.

* CassandraTruth: You can see a guy knife eight others in the back, watch him turn his attention to you, and then scream out his name over the mic multiple times as you're being murdered, and people ''still'' may not believe you. Then again, they might just not hear you because you were cut off by dying. Or they didn't understand whose name you said. Or they just did hear you but aren't alerting the traitor to the fact that they know. Or they might have muted you. [[OverlyLongGag Or just don't care at all.]]

** The silenced AWP only has two shots and high recoil, but is surprisingly useful in the hands of a skilled marksman as it's a one shot kill.

** Some custom maps include a way to dispose of bodies such as meat grinders or furnaces, although there is usually some drawback.

* CutHimselfShaving: "I fell." Although, given ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'''s terrible LadderPhysics, the above excuse is often completely true.

* ThisBananaIsArmed: One Traitor-exclusive weapon is an AK-47 that is disguised in such a eay that Innocents and Derectives view it as the person wielding a crowbar. This can [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backfire]] for the Traitor if other players get suspicious of the one person using a "crowbar" when there would be no reason to.

* AscendedGlitch: The Yogscast [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOnsl2RdKSc had a game]] where an innocent and a traitor died simultaneously when they were the last ones alive due to completely different causes of death, but the game glitched out and didn't end (normally a game where all remaining players die is a traitor win). As a result, they declared that "the bees win", as there were a lot of bees (a traitor weapon) hanging around the map, due to being them being the last entities standing. A condition was later added to the game mode where "THE BEES WIN" if at least two remaining players die simultaneously but the traitor dies to non-weapon damage (such as environmental damage or, well, bees).

* AwesomeButImpractical: One example would be the Evolve Traitor weapon. It enhances your speed, doubles your health, and gives you nifty Wolverine claws for melee. But you need to kill three people first to get it. Considering the size of a typical TTT party, it's pretty hard to use this one to full effect.

* {{Troll}}: The reason the Jester exists is to trick people into killing him/her. Depending on which version you play, this either ends the game as a Jester win, kills you and lets the Jester take over your job, or (if you're a traitor) blows your cover with a big confetti cloud.
